Reading is FUN!

Parents we have a reading checkpoint coming up on April 8th so I just wanted to go over a few things that you all should be doing at home to help your children become better and stronger readers. 

• Read at least 30 minutes a day! Take turns reading aloud at bedtime! Kids really enjoy this special time with their parents. 
• Dig deeper into the story. Ask questions to your kids about the story you have read.
• Pick books that are on the right level. Help your kids pick out books that are not too difficult and that they enjoy reading. 
• Most importantly make sure you are PATIENT. Remember they are just learning how to read and won't get everything correct. Give them time to try and pronounce the word correctly and correct them gently.

Thank you all so much for all your help at home! Learning to read is very important and I am trying my best to have your children be very successful readers. Every little help counts! 

Here is a little fun video to encourage your young readers!
